    No worries. I'm surprised it hasn't been sent yet if it's been over 2 months, but it can take up to 90 days. Have you checked the status, what does that say? My daughter has just had to have her biometrics redone as the rest of us got our GC's within a month of arrival, but hers never turned up. Her status was stuck on 'card is being produced' for ages until I enquired and then we got a notice giving her a new appointment for biometrics.

    As above, it varies. Ours were about a month after arrival. But you can track it using the receipt number from when she paid the fee, that will tell you when it's been produced and give you tracking details when it's been sent too.

    Are you F2A or F2B? Your profile says the former but previous posts say the latter? Either way this won’t affect it (unless there is some kind of fraud or criminal charge against you), but if it’s F2B then it should be sorted before you have an interview anyway.

    You can't find anything as there is no route I'm afraid. A child can only sponsor a parent when they reach 21 years of age. https://www.uscis.gov/family/family-of-us-citizens/bringing-parents-to-live-in-the-united-states-as-permanent-residents

    The FEIEI doesn't mean a return doesn't have to still be filed though.

    Can't see how, particularly as you won't have your immigrant visa by the time you've finished your studies if your father hasn't applied for you yet (unless your studies will be for a decade or more of course!). But you'd need to ask the school as each will have their own rules. We asked the same question as we assumed we'd be moving on temp visas and have our immigrant visa applications underway when my daughter started college, and were told that we'd need to pay international rates. As it turns out, we got our 'green cards' much quicker than expected, and she's decided to go back to the UK for uni anyway, but hey!

    I think Boiler meant the other spousal route, CR1 (or IR1) I mentioned above. Then she’d have been a green card holder on arrival and could have started work straight away - in the baggage hall if she wanted!

    She can’t work at all until she has the EAD. That includes running her own business remotely if she’s in the US, or working for you (as it’s a job somebody else could do). She can do true volunteer work such as helping at an animal shelter or soup kitchen though. This is one of the major disadvantages of a K1 and why a CR1 is usually recommended.

    That’s strange, never heard of that for an IV before, only for NIV’s. Wonder why they made you do it that way? Edit - never mind, just realised you cancelled your first scheduled interview date & rescheduled. That makes sense now! 😂

    Looks like a year from DQ to interview date, unfortunately that consulate does have quite a backlog.

    I posted a link to help somebody out. For future ref, you can see details of peoples applications by looking at their profiles if they’ve completed it. HTH.

    You can see this info if you click on the ‘Timeline’ button on any of NylaJ’s posts or profile. HTH.

    Which country?
  14. appleblossom
    Unless EB-1A or EB2 NIW - no employer required for those.
  15. appleblossom
    As Boiler has said, your birth country, but tbh it's probably not very useful anyway as it only tells you how long people who applied in the past have waited, and your wait is likely to be quite a bit longer. Which category?
  16. appleblossom
    The fee is $465. I'd strongly recommend you download the form instructions. https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/forms/i-824instr.pdf I don't think I-824 is eligible for a fee waiver, as it's correcting a mistake you made, but you can double check on the I-912 criteria. https://www.uscis.gov/i-912

    DQ means Documentary Qualified i.e. the NVC processing side of things (fees paid, documents submitted) is complete and it's being passed over the consulate for an interview to be scheduled.
  18. appleblossom
    You don't need to worry about it being closed, it's only closed as it's been approved. But unfortunately it seems the reason the application hasn't moved to NVC yet for final processing there is that you filled in the I-130 incorrectly and didn't tell them you wanted consular processing. As the screenshot you've posted above says, you now need to file the I-824 to tell them to process it at NVC/the consulate in Ghana.

    My appointment in July was for 10am, there is no queue for IV appointments (go to the front and tell them that’s why you’re there, and they let you straight in). I was there for about 5 hrs in total.
  20. appleblossom
    Why do you think you need to do anything about it if it’s been approved?
  21. appleblossom
    It is, but you usually need the interview letter before scheduling a medical. No point in having the medical done too early, your visa will only be valid for 6 months from it. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-10-prepare-for-the-interview.html

    Please use the quote function or tag people - otherwise they won’t know you’ve responded to them. Anyway, as you now know, there are no other steps for at least a decade. No point in anybody giving you info about them as the process may well change between now and then, but you can come back and ask if you have any questions about it once his case is at NVC.
  23. appleblossom
    Depends what you had to submit to NVC electronically. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-10-prepare-for-the-interview/step-11-applicant-interview.html https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Supplements/Supplements_by_Post/CRO-Cairo.html Re: your daughter, you can mention it if you wish as Boiler has said, but it isn’t necessary. Hers will be a whole new application and isn’t relevant to yours.
  24. appleblossom
    Did you mean to quote me? If so then yes, mine was Texas, but it was an I-140 with premium processing, as mine was an EB application. So that’s why it was approved in 8 days. HTH.
  25. appleblossom
    If it's Nigeria, then current wait time for a B2 visa is 416 days - https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/wait-times.html If your flight is refundable then I'd cancel it and just keep checking in case you get lucky and manage to get a cancellation for an appointment next year. Good luck.
